It was not more that a few hours ago that I had deemed the idea of blogging as an exercise in self-preoccupation, but, for whatever reasons, here I am.
I suppose I am like you, I want to learn and maybe teach, if I may be so bold.
So who am I? I am Human--nothing more nothing less.
So what have I got to say? I am about to graduate with a degree in Architecture and a Minor in English. I love design, I love to write and this is my attempt to write about design.
Now, if you're a smug little bastard like myself, you're asking how this could ever be relevant. Well, sir or madame what I would say to you is that above all else I am a student of the human mind: with its compelling complexity and frightening simplicity the mind is an unruly beast. But if you subscribe to behaviorism you will undoubtedly agree that one's environment is the greatest factor of one's behavioral development.
I believe that good design has the capability to change not only the physical world, but the way we think and live.
"I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture."
